![]() ![]() Man, a good writing group definitely sharpens its members, so I’m glad they served you well. ![]() I finished the trilogy in 2021 – the same year that book one made its debut. ![]() I pitched ONE DAY AS A LION to Aethon Books in 2019 during #SFFpit and things moved quickly after that, with some delays along the way because of things like Covid. I needed a trilogy to tell the entire story and give the universe the stage it deserves. The trilogy and book one grew out of a need to address questions that my peers had regarding the story, and short fiction has always been one of my weaknesses. I’m glad that they did it needed a lot of work. It was an ambitious but flawed story that got torn apart by my writing group (the Brooklyn Speculative Fiction Writers). The first book of the trilogy, ONE DAY AS A LION, grew out of a short story called “The Duel” that I wrote in 2012. I present it to you now as a short transcript…įirst question for you, John: How long had you been writing your GORDIAN KNOT trilogy before Aethon said, “Can we publish that?” (Aethon being the publishing house, of course). We caught up recently for a quick conversation. Quickly seen that he’s a writer of great talent. ![]() Instantly, I knew this was a man of good character - just as I’d I’d read a couple of chapters of Jonathan E Hernandez’s One Day as a Lion before we met through social media. ![]()
